Common Questions and Answers about Abscess boil painful
abscess
Hello,
It could be a boil or an abscess. A boil generally starts as a reddened, tender area. Over time, the area becomes firm and hard. Eventually, the center of the abscess softens and becomes filled with pus. Finally, the pus "forms a head," which can be surgically opened or spontaneously drain out through the surface of the skin.
Apply warm compresses on the boil and keep the area clean. Drainage of the boil is done only when it becomes soft and forms a head.

Boil on buttocks is usually due to plugged sweat glands that become infected or by an ingrown hair.
I've had an abscess or boil on my upper back between my spine and shoulder blade that doesn't seem to be coming to a head but instead drying up or being reabsorbed into the skin. It's about 1 - 2 cm in diameter, pink and a little soft (can feel some fluid inside) but not painful and not getting larger or smaller and I'm having what seems like muscular shooting pain up my neck and down my spine on that same side.

If calling it a blister doesn't get their attention, say you aren't sure, but it might be a boil or abscess. Then they will have to see you.

The lump could be due to inflammation of the temperomandibular joint, an abscess, a boil or a cyst. It could also be an inflamed lymph node. Since you also have dizziness, this could be due to TMJ. Please consult your PCP and get this evaluated.
Hope this helps. Do let me know if there is any thing else and keep me posted. Take care!
You clearly do have some form of infection. Could be a boil or an abscess which may require lancing and a course of antibiotics.
Of course, the problem with it being at the back of your thigh is that you are not able to see it properly.
The other symptoms may have no connection with your thigh lump, but still mention them to the doctor. It is very likely that the headache with the blood in the nose is likely to be a sinus infection.
Hi,
How are you? A boil, also referred to as a skin abscess, is a localized infection deep in the skin. It starts as a reddened, tender area that becomes firm and hard. Eventually, the center of the abscess softens and becomes filled with pus. There are several different types of boils depending on the location: furuncle, carbuncle, cystic acne, hidradenitis suppurativa, or pilonidal cyst.
Hello,
It looks like a boil or an abscess. Apply hot compresses on the boil. As long as the boil is hard, it is difficult draining it. But once it becomes soft, drainage is easy. You need to consult a doctor for its drainage or for prescription of antibiotics. Take some over the counter pain reliever and consult a doctor for examination and antibiotics prescription.

I start out with a abscess that was opened with a needle (doctor thought it was a boil but it wasn't) it spread through my bloodstream and turned into MRSA. It's contagious if he had a opened wound and you came in contact with his blood or other bodily fluids. If you are concerned you can have a lab test ran to have your doctor run a swab test of your nose, groin and armpits. I got mine just from going to the hospital for surgery.

Ok I've had this bump thing on my vagina for like 2 days and its so painful I cnt walk sit or lay down its gotten so huge my husband tried to pop it but I think it made it worst cuss its bigger but this pain is unbearable. I called doc today couldn't work me in til Monday afternoon
Now if I go to the hospital would the lance it or pop it or something I cnt take this pain, its actually causing me to cramp a lot today too. Idk why tho.
t a big deal. If the boil is large enough or is starting to form into an abscess, your doctor will first numb the boil and the surrounding area and then make a small incision to allow the pus to drain.The incision is then usually packed with gauze and an antiseptic to allow further drainage.
In the meantime,till you see your doctor,use warm damp compresses for 20 minutes three to four times a day as it may help draw the boil out.
Take care....
